You have yet to prove guilt. You have only provided a story told by aa disgruntled employee. Until I see a conviction I will reserve judgment.

William Koch, the billionaire energy tycoon and prominent Republican donor, allegedly kidnapped and interrogated at a remote Aspen ranch a former top-level executive whom he suspected of subversion.
According to Courthouse News Service, Kirby Martensen, a former executive of several Koch subsidiaries, has filed suit in federal court seeking punitive damages for the alleged incident. The Huffington Post on Saturday confirmed the story with Martensen’s lawyer.

In the suit, Martensen charges that in March, Koch lured him and other employees to a secluded Aspen ranch—one with no cell phone reception or connection to the outside world—under “false pretenses.” Though Martensen thought he had been called to Aspen to discuss business, he was instead interrogated, searched and held against his will for over twenty-four hours before finally being freed.

Fail. First of all, the Koch bros. generally linked to politics are Charles and David. I had never heard of William Koch. Secondly, if someone is a kidnap victim, wouldn't the general course of action be to go to the police and ask them to arrest the kidnapper? Not to file a civil lawsuit for monetary damages?

Let me try to construct a post coming from the right that would be roughly the equivalent of what OP offers us.

Obama faces DUI charge, possible deportation back to his native Kenya
Obama's uncle charged with DUI, could face deportation

Obama was charged w/ DUI while driving in Framingham, Mass after running a stop sign and nearly causing an accident. This is what you can expect from a radical left administration such as we presently have. Nyah, Nyah, Nyah.


See how dumb it sounds?

The obsession the loony left has with the Koch Brothers boogeymen is as stupid and silly as the one the radical right has with Soros.

Watch out Tempy, check under your bed tonight for a Koch Brother!!!

I guess due process flies out the window in loony leftist land,

I would have to agree. At this point, it is just an allegation. Should be interesting.

No reason to keep someone for 24 hours was given either. What was the dubious reason supposedly for holding an employee the way they did then?

In the end it will come out the complaining employee was on drugs or had mental problems IMO.

If they in fact did.
I have attended team building gigs for the company I work for. Mandatory if you are in a leadership position. They told me I was expected to eat every meal with the group and not leave the facility.
I ate at Wendy's and Taco Bell just about everyday. No punishment followed.
I went to a gig at some campground with cabins. Same deal.
I brought MRE's and a some other snacks. I ate with the group sometimes and when I didnt want to I ate my own food. I would have and could have left whenever I felt like it.
Was this individule held at gun point? Locked in a cell?

I don't think so, there is only one complaining.
